Ewa's Fashion Lounge
Junky, but funky - Ewa's is a club by night, a trashy retro clothing shop by day. A DJ spins discs as you pause between racks and sit at the bar for a drink. The clothes are from the polyester and frayed cuff school of secondhand, but the vodka is cheap and the ambience is…interesting.

Flo Vintage Mode
In a city this enamoured with the glamorous past, it's no less than shocking that there's only one true vintage clothing store in town. The clothes here are fastidiously and beautifully displayed, from pearl-embroidered Art Nouveau masterpieces to 1950s and '60s New Look pieces and designer wear of the '70s and '80s (alphabetised Armani-Zegna). Prices are high, and so is quality.

Loden-Plankl
Want to kit yourself out Von Trapp family-style? This 180-year-old institution is your place. Embroidered dirndls and blouses, capes, high-collared jackets and deer suede coats are all hand-made (reflected in their prices). Modern variations are available as well as the traditional designs, though you're likely to find more nostalgic charm in the trad stuff. Christopher Plummer wannabes come for the loden coats (made from boiled and combed wool).

Mörtz
On any given weekend, elderly ladies and gents of the city can be seen riding the buses and trams to the Wienerwald for a bit of Wandern (hiking). Their boots look as though they've survived both world wars and they'd easily survive another couple - and they're probably from Mörtz. Here you can find superb handmade hiking boots sturdy enough for any hike you care to undertake, and they're comfortable to boot.

The stripy cotton and viscose knitwear here is both classic and up-to-the-minute, with flattering shapes and vivid colours, and designs for hot and cold weather. There are also linen pants and skirts in a refreshing range of bright colours and casual styles.

Palmers

Polyklamott
This low-key secondhand shop is filled with eminently rummagable racks of reasonably priced gear for men and women. Their own-brand retro satchels round out the selection, and the automatic clothes dispenser - all items in the Automat are around €5 - is open for business 24 hours a day.

Check the website for their latest collection.
